NASCAR podcast: Christopher Bell

Joe Gibbs Racing rookie and Xfinity Series title favorite Christopher Bell stops by this week to share his approach to racing. In this episode you’ll hear how the assessment of Bell’s rookie season has changed from midseason to now; whether he is hard on himself; managing the highs and lows of NASCAR through a week; adjusting to the nearly year-long NASCAR schedule; how running dirt races helps with his NASCAR mindset; what the rules are for Bell to be able to run dirt races; whether he envisions having to one day cut back on dirt racing; if he focuses on achievements and milestones; digging into his shy personality and how he doesn’t like to watch interviews or races of himself; if he feels comfortable in front of cameras and doing interviews; getting comfortable offering his opinion and speaking up; explaining the fun of JGR with the PB&J videos and activities with teammates Ryan Preece and Brandon Jones.
